Whoops, my bad.  This is a known bug affecting some Suns, for which I
hadn't yet deployed the fix.  I have put out the fix now, but the
machine will have to be recovered from single-user mode, which is kind
of a pain.  The following should work:

  Stop-A to get to the prom (since you can't do a clean halt)
  boot -s (from the prom "ok" prompt)
  sh /etc/init.d/afs start
  cd /afs/dev.mit.edu/system/sun4x_58/srvd-9.1/bin/athena
  cp attach /bin/athena/attach
  reboot
